Entrances to tunnels at Iran’s sprawling Isfahan nuclear complex were hit in US military strikes overnight, the UN nuclear watchdog says in a statement.

“We have established that entrances to underground tunnels at the site were impacted,” the International Atomic Energy Agency says.

Officials said that before Israel attacked Iran’s nuclear facilities on June 13, much of Iran’s most highly enriched uranium was stored underground at Isfahan.
